MYTH 3:

Data Equals Information. No matter how “big,” an incomplete or

otherwise ﬂawed set of data cannot provide actionable information. The

proper analytics can be developed only with a clear understanding of the

quality and quantity of available data.

These and other myths are similar to those that occurred during previous

technology revolutions, such as the rise of the personal computer and later

the Internet. As more organizations deploy big-data analytics for enterprise

energy management, the path to success will become clearer.

We conclude this paper with ﬁve actions energy managers can take today

to advance along this journey.
